There are a couple of timesaving tricks. Open an image and go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Brightness/Contrast.
Click in the box that has the number at the right-hand end of the brightness slider. Now you can use the scroll wheel to increase/decrease the brightness.Hover the mouse over the word Brightness at the left-hand end of the brightness slider and the cursor will change to a double headed arrow with a pointing finger and hand in the middle. Now click and hold the left mouse button. Move the mouse left/right to decrease/increase the brightness level. Cheers,
Neale

IPhoto With Adobe Elements Or CS4

I'm trying to use iPhoto with Adobe Elements (and/or CS4) as my default editor.
I have the files in RAW / NEF format and I click to edit in external editor.
My goal is to save the changes I've made back into iPhoto (overwriting my old version) without saving it as an external file and reimporting it in.
I read on an IPhoto site this;
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.
When I save the file, it saves a JPEG version in the iPhoto directory, but it doesn't show up when I go back to iPhoto. I'm also wondering why I can't save it back as a NEF file (shouldn't I do that since it's a RAW image to start)?
What's the proper way to work with iPhoto and Photoshop?
I know there are purists that seem to push to use Bridge, but i've grown to like iPhoto's features, tagging, etc. How can I do this?
Thanks..

This might be of some help:

Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Adobe Elements 9 Slideshow to VCD and WMV: AWFUL Quality and No Slides Appear

I have just creating a long slideshow (~335 high quality slides) replete with music. I converted it to a wmv file which resulted in a movie in which ONLY the opening slide is displayed. The music plays but no other pictures appear. Great.
I also created a VCD fromt the "Output" option on the Slideshow screen. The VCD works sorta, but the picture quality is AWFUL. The slides look like little thumbnails blown up 10,000%.   I have high quality images in (what I thought was a) high quality slide show.
The slideshow looks fine in Adobe Elements 9. What happened???
Is this typical for AE9 or am I missing something???
ALIENWARE AURORA, INTEL(R) CORE(TM) I7,
CPU 920 @ 2.67GHZ; INTEL64 FAMILY 6 MODEL 26
CPU CURRENT CLOCK SPEED: 2668MHZ;
6GB DDR3 MEMORY:
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, RAM 1024MB
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio sound card
Update:
I exited and restarted the program and tried the output options again. The *.wmv file works now but the VCD is still lousy quality. I tried the AE9 option to create a VCD with menus, but I can't find those menus on the finished VCD. The VCD size is 250MB; my 335 slides should be close to 600 MB based on the size of the origianl pictures; no wonder the picture quality is terrible on the VCD. Is there a way to convert the slide show to a VCD and control (improve) the quality? The wmv file is 188MB, which is also too small, and i have that specified as max. quality. As I said, it does look better than the VCD.   How can I export this slide show in max. quality?
Thanks.
Update Again,
I realized that NONE of the wmv files I created from my slideshow in AE9 have worked. The music background is fine, but the slides progress to a certain point and then they don't change again. The show is stuck on a slide about half way thru. This is awful. The VCD's have the same type of problem in addition to the quality issue.
Thoughts?

Upgrading from Adobe Elements 6 to 8

I recently updated to iPhoto 9 and have ordered Adobe Elements 8.
iPhoto 9 still works with Elements 6 as my external editor.
Do I have to do anything special before installing Adobe Elements 8 or will iPhoto still know I want Adobe Elements as my external editor.
I hope this makes sense.

You don't have to do anything special before installing PSE 8 but there are some subtle changes to preferences when using it with iPhoto.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).

IPhoto as Library and Adobe Elements Organizer as download client

I wanted to use Adobe Elements 9 Organizer as the download client as I can actually see image files saved and grouped by folders and iPhoto as library and creative authoring.
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder? I kind think that iPhoto will copy those photos into its own. I worry about duplicating the JPEG files in my Pictures Folder.
Thanks.

I'm with Larry when he says to pick one horse and ride it. This can get quite confusing very quickly.
To answer your specific question:
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder
By default, yes, but you can set iPhoto not to. But note: a: What Happens when you do - for instance, that various versions of the files will not be available except through iPhoto, which will confuse your proposed system, and b: The various caveats to running a Referenced Library.
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
*An Alternative*
Set Elements as an External Editor in iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

How do I get Adobe Elements 10 to recognize my printer?

I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and want to print a photo using my Canon 9000 Mark II printer. When I click "PRINT" it says first I have to install a printer. How do I install this printer so that Elements 10 recognizes it? My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit.

Hi I do have the Canon Pro 9000 Mark II printer as the default printer.
I just tried a couple of things. I tried printing the photo from the ORGANIZER and it printed fine. Then I tried again to print the same photo from the EDITOR and got this message:
Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer.
So it looks like the ORGANIZER recognizes my Canon printer, and the EDITOR does not!   How can that be?

Adobe Elements 7 have a Measuring Tool?

Just installed adobe elements 7 and am looking for the measuring tool that in previous versions was located with eyedropper. We use it for making angular measurements between two intersecting lines. While Elements has a straightening tool, this will automatically reposition my image depending on what line I draw, but will not allow me to make my measurements. Does anyone know where measuring tool is now located?
Thanks for your help.

A workaround in Elements is to use the line tool with the info palette open. As you draw the line, the info palette will display the line's length and angle. (Make a note of the angle/line length before releasing the mouse button as this info disappears once you release the mouse button.) Edit: Alternately, you could drag out your line at the desired angle and use it as a guide.
If you only need the length and height, drag out a rectangular marquee around the object to be measured. The info palette will display the marquee's width and height.

Adobe Elements 12 not recognizing DVD drive, Help please!!

In my Adobe Elements 12 for some reason when I go to burn, it saying no burners detected. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how can it be fixed. Thank you so much in advance.

cricketsw08
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? Please do so.
Assuming a Windows compute for now.
Is this "no burner found" situation described as "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now"?
If it has worked before, then I would ask
1. Do you have iTunes on your computer? Have you recently updated it?
If so, you might consider uninstalling both Premiere Elements 12 and iTunes, and then reinstalling only Premiere Elements 12. I would go through the scenario
1. Uninstall Premiere Elements 12 and iTunes via Control Panel
2. Do a ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
3. Reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 only.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

i am on windows 8 platform, i used adobe elements to work on my image - the output is in dng format, how do i convert this to jpg format?

When you make a DNG that's like making another raw file, so you will need to convert the DNG file just like your original raw. Don't use the Save button in the raw converter. That's just a link to the DNG converter. Normally you would click Open instead and then save in the editor as a jpg or other image format of your choice.

How do I use itune music for creating photo DVDs with music in adobe element 10?

How do I use/transfer itune music for DVDs with music in adobe elements premier?

On each computer:
Open iTunes. Select Preferences from the iTunes menu and click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. At the top you will see a box showing the path to your iTunes library. Click on the Change button, navigate to the location for the library on your external drive, select it and click on the Open button. Note this permanently changes the library's location on that computer. That means you cannot access your music unless the external drive is connected.
If you don't want a permanent change, then press the OPTION key and hold it down while you launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to select the library you wish to open for that session.

How do I find duplicates in Adobe Elements 8?

Like many others, I have tons of photos on my computer - many duplicates. My primary concern at this point, however, results from the fact that a cousin and I have just scanned over 1500 ancestral photos and documents, newspaper clippings, etc. from many albums we've just inherited. She numbered the photos she scanned, I named the ones I scanned. Now we find that there were many duplicates of photos between the two of us, and we would like to find those to reduce the huge number of files.
Does Adobe Elements easily locate duplicate images so those can be deleted? How about if they have different file names? Pleeeeeze tell me we can do this.
Also, does Adobe Element 8 batch re-name files, in case we want to do that in the future with these?
I'm looking at finding an easy and inexpensive (free? ) course for Adobe 8 as I haven't really used it that much yet. Some of the photos are 100+ years-old and will need some editing.
Thanks so much.
Granny K

Hi, Granny (I thought you were great in The Beverly Hillbillies)
Don't try File>>Process Multiple Files to rename if you have already imported the photos into the PSE Organizer.
There is a FAQ on how to find suspected duplicates in PSE8 Organizer. http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Find_and_delete I haven't tried this so I can't say how well it works.

ScottWarnerBC
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What do you mean by splice 2 videos together?
a. put them side by side on the Timeline and export them to one file saved to the computer hard drive or burned to disc
or
b. something like the following even before import into any Premiere Elements project
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
If it is "a", then we need to know the properties of those 2 files so that the project settings can be set accordingly.
What is your intended export? Based on the properties of the source media, we can then decide on export settings
to produce a file with properties as close as possible to the source (if that is what you want).
We will be watching for further information.
